About our remedial sealant in Whetsted
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include products that weren’t meant for the joint and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
Being in a small place like Whetsted makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere like Whetsted needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.

- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not point over movement joints
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Remedial sealant around Whetsted
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Five Oak Green Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Paddock Wood Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
